    Such a great restaurant. We were there early (long story), but were seated anyway. Monterey had just experienced a huge rainstorm and power outage (although Fisherman's Wharf seems to have gotten its power back sooner than the neighboring area). The servers and staff were unbothered and waitstaff was prompt, cordial, and friendly. Plus the food was great! you can't go wrong with seafood in Monterey. But this was a notch up.

    Very busy when we first arrived for our 7:00 reservation. We were seated at a nice table at the window. The food was pretty good, I had bacon wrapped scallops, but the bacon was overcooked. Hubby had fried prawns that were huge and tasty. It was the service that brought my rating down. We had to ask for both water and bread, which took awhile. After our food was delivered I don’t think we saw our waiter again until we got the check. May have been an off-night for him.

    The food was all great and came quickly. We had the Sole, Salmon, clams and linguini, and calamari steak. The calamari steak was pretty thin but everything else was great. Nice little view of the water.

    In spite of touristy like location the restaurant had a good local vibe. Service was great. Food was fantastic. Ambience was 4-star if u get seated near a window. Only complaint was stale, dried out chocolate cake for dessert. Plan on returning for sure.
